The Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS
The wife has been getting a ridiculous amount of hits on her blog regarding the yet to be released Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS lens. We first heard about this from the Canon store we usually buy our stuff from almost a month ago and at that time, the only information they had was the focal length and the minimum aperture setting. Armed with those two measly things, we still went ahead and pre-ordered it.
Why? First of, it has the longest focal length in the EF-S lineup and for the price it was going for it was practically a steal. Second, it's already using Canon's latest 4-stop compensation IS technology which is supposedly four times more effective in compensating for camera shake.
It's been pretty hard to get information on this model specially it's technical specs but I was finally able to get something substantial from Canon's UK website.
You can read the full article here.
You will probably notice that it was supposed to be released last October, but our Canon Dealer still does not have their stocks in. The anticipation is killing us. See our review here.

Is this available anywhere in the US yet? the only place i can find it is on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=280188022278&Category=152380
From what other photography sites say, I don't think it's available in the US yet. We ordered it last September when we heard we were getting it here, but we only received ours a couple of days ago. The lens isn't even listed on the Canon USA website the last time we checked. We had to get the specs on the Canon UK website. Maybe you can have it imported from the UK?
